The best of the two Grand Cru vineyards Geisberg and Osterberg in Ribeauvillé: Fruit-based, exotic nose with great spiciness, also ripe apples and pears.

Fantastic nose of ripeness, minerality and high complexity, already very inviting, slight raisins, some kiwi, gooseberries, honey and candied pineapple. The palate is clear and elegant, fantastic minerality with multiple layers of spices, fantastic rounded acidity. Long, long finish with complex minerality and ripe fruit notes, some grapefruit peel. Wicked!

2011 - Trimbach Clos Ste Hune Riesling
Pierre Trimbach compared the 2011 with the 1983 – it is amazingly rich, intense and complex on the nose, powerful and full of cool minerality, a fruit range from stone fruit to apple to tropical fruits, herbal and spicy. On the palate so dense, so complex, so long. It is a rich and concentrated, powerful but elegant, smooth and balanced. Clearly an icon of Riesling art! 

2006 - Trimbach Clos Ste Hune Riesling
This riesling is a legend! Clos Ste Hune 2006 Grand cru from Alsace France. It is a pleasure to drink this! Flavors of stone fruits, apple, honey, herbs, tropical fruits, minerals and melon add up to a deep, balanced and long lasting taste of pure luxury. One of the best in Europe.

1982 - Trimbach Clos Ste Hune Riesling
The nose is floral, vanilla, honey, slightly smoky, cassis, green apple, spices of clove and white pepper, pear, zabaglione. One the palate a grabbing acidity, very straight, crystal clear, spicy with lots of grapefruit peel, pepper, still strong minerality. Finishes with citrus peel, smoky and zabaglione. An amazing experience.
